About this map

Lords Valley and the expansive private community of Hemlock Farms anchor this portion of the Poconos, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The landscape is dominated by water features and their associated water-control structures, such as McConnell Lake Dam and the Shohola Marsh Reservoir. Central to the area is Pecks Pond, which includes Pinchot Island and the adjacent Pecks Pond Picnic Area, serving as a focal point for local recreation.

Conservation and management are evident through the Tarkill Demonstration Area and the Stillwater Natural Area. These protected spaces sit alongside distinct terrain features like Indian Cabin Ridge and High Knob, the latter topped by the High Knob Fire Tower. The layout of the road network, including Blue Heron Lake Rd and Fivemile Meadow Rd, illustrates the transition from traditional through-routes to more modern residential developments around the lakes.
